I40 THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS OF EUROPE 



glass cases. In another glass case was a stuffed 

 monkey, from the fur of which a tiny little mouse was 

 busily engaged in making its nest. There were several 

 cases of stufPed fish, a child's perambulator, and an 

 empty beer-bottle. That aquarium may be reckoned 

 as one of the good old ' has beens.' 



In front of a duck-pond was a large house containing 

 an Indian elephant, which consumed bags of bread, 

 paper and all, with trumpets of immense delight ; there 

 was a black buck antelope with a broken horn, an 

 inyala, also with a broken horn, an Indian tapir, a 

 cassowary, a rhea, a pair of zebras, some kangaroos 

 and donkeys. Opposite were wild-swine sheds, deer 

 sheds, with a very good collection, and buffalo sheds. 

 Next to these was a really good seal tank. There was 

 a bird-of-prey aviary, and a monkey house, containing, 

 amongst other animals, a beautiful black-and-white 

 lemur. There were llama and camel sheds, a parrot 

 and tropical small-birds' aviary, and a burro wing- 

 rodents' house. Some dog-kennels contained pointers, 

 Esquimaux dogs, a Russian wolf-hound, foxes, and 

 wolves. In an open-air pen was a sedate marabou 

 stork, which would catch bread thrown to it from a 

 distance of ten yards, never allowing a single piece to 

 touch the ground. 



This Garden, although not large, has a remarkably 

 good collection of animals. It seems a pity that the 

 comparatively harmless photographer is barred, as 

 every photograph taken in the Garden is a free ad- 

 vertisement.
